Parker's Brilliant Win Against Menzel

DONALD BUDGE OUT

Allison And Stoefen In Epic Struggle

Forest Hills. Sept. 9.

1934.

FOREST HILLS

A Perry-Wood final is indicated consequent on the draw for the Last Eight in the U.S. national' singles tennis championships. Perry has to beat Sutter and then the winner of the Shields-Kirby tie, while Wood has first to over- come Parker and then Allison or Stoefen.

Owing to an error in an early cable, it was assumed that! Frank Parker has been eliminated, whereas he reached the fourth round and proceeded to qualify for the last eight by defeating Roderick Menzel, the Czechoslovakian in four sets. The original error showed Menzel as defeating Mangin in the fourth round, when actually it was in the third.

Donald Budge, this year's sen- antion of the American tennis courts, found Kirby, the South African, too experienced a player to overcome, and their fourth round encounter saw Budge boaten In four seta after 40 games,

Budge played characteristic tennis to annex the first set at 6-4, but thereafter he was continually headed by Kirby, who awaited the psychological moment in each of the subsequent three seis to break through.

GUY CHENG CLINCHES. ISSUE IN DECIDING MATCH

Shanghai, Sept. 4. Giving a brilliant display of backline tennis, Garson (U. S.) and Khoo (China) fought out a thrilling singles match in the remaining games of the Rotary Cup final on the Shanghai Tennis Club courts yesterday, Carson defeated Khoo 6-3, 8-6, 6-3, but Squires, who was.com. pletely out-classed, went down to a fighting defeat in the other singles, losing to Cheng 6-1, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, and thus giving China the right to retain the Cup yet again, the holders having previously won the doubles and another singles over the week-end.
